16" lightweight alloys.
Carbon Fibre replica Airdam, Stieny Skirts, Irmscher rear.

4 pots + 2 pots + fully bias adjustable

2.0 16v, TB, Lightweight block with 94mm pistons. But i'd take it to swindon racing to give me an ex BTCC spec (Reverse head), un-restricted airbox, but also slightly restriced engine to reduce rebuilds.

Full cage built in, strengthend, lightened, coilovers in each corner.

Perspex side and rear windows.

Basically, a mini touring car with the same spec engine.

to be honest the yb and rwd gets my vote purely on the ford motor on a vauxhall car thing. its just always going to be much better than any vauxhall engine you could put in a corsa because its not a vauxhall engine.

allthough if i was going to goto the hassle of converting to rwd i would do it to a nova rather than a corsa

Wheelbase is too short for 600bhp to work round corners.

Nope, but its a 2.0 16v engine isn't it The code remains 20XE

94mm pistons in the block im talking about make it a 2.4.

The block alone weighs 20kg less than the standard item, and also costs £4k + VAT
